Terkel's Team

A betrayal from within has Terkel frantic to protect those he can, as his team falls one by one, from a murderous killer he helped create. With the bulk of his team down, Terk tries to establish a new base, while struggling to heal the team through the special connection each has. Damon is concerned about finding Tasha, one of their admins, and keeping her safe. But without any secure place to take her, Damon’s making do with the little they have - whether she’s happy about his plan or not.

Sophia met Wade a few years back, and the last she heard from him was he’d be back to take her out to dinner - and she never saw him again. Having spent several years in the meantime working with Merk and his team in Texas, when Terk called for her help, Sophia jumped at the opportunity to go. Even if Wade didn’t get it, she knew a connection worth trying for when she felt it. Wade is weak, helpless after the attack on Terk’s team. Seeing Sophia is a sock to his gut. His defenses are already down, and he knows it will be impossible to keep her at arm’s length a second time.

Gage hadn’t told the rest of his team, but he’d planned to meet up with Lorelei after their team disbanded. A little one-on-one time was needed to see if all the sparks they’d felt over the last few years were the real thing. He’d deliberately avoided getting involved with anyone he worked with, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Until all the team is decimated.…

As his career path led him into more and more danger, Calum made a decision to keep his family safe, even if it meant he would be alone in the world. But when his wife and son are kidnapped and dumped almost into his very own secret headquarters, Calum knows his safeguards haven’t been enough. Mariana didn’t like Calum’s decision from years ago but finally understood after her and her son are rescued from kidnappers, and she saw the dangerous level of his work. However, having him once again in her life, their family whole again, she’s not willing to let him go. Not this time.

Stubborn was something Rick had been called a lot. Independent. A loner. All true, but once a powerful healer connects to bring him back from the brink of death, Rick is in danger of losing that control and that privacy he so values. Cara understands Rick’s need to be alone, but it’s not possible any longer, and that isn’t something she’s ready to tell him. That and the value of the connection they now share is something he has to find out for himself. And the sooner, the better.

Everyone has the right to make a mistake...but the one Naira made isn’t one Scott can forgive. He wakes from a coma, sure that the ex-love of his life had been at his side, but finds no sign of her. When he does see her, he can’t get past a decision she made that tore them apart. Naira had hoped that Scott would protest her decision way back when, but he didn’t say anything to stop her. When Terk called, she came running to Scott’s bedside, even knowing he’d hate to see her when he woke up. But she has always loved him and can only hope he might find his way back to her.

The journey back to consciousness hadn’t been fast or easy, but, once awake, with weird images and voices in his head, Brody is all about getting back to the team and into the action. His senses are dulled, but, even then, he’s strong enough to know he has to leave the building where he’s been recuperating from the initial team accident. Not knowing any of the details doesn’t help, but it does mean trust is now the issue.

In advance of another major attack, Terk races to Levi’s compound in Texas, where Terk finally gets to meet Celia, the woman carrying his child. Thankfully he arrives in time to protect his friends and new family from another attack, but he’s determined to get to the end of this nightmare that tried to earlier destroy his team.

The move to a castle is both daunting and exhilarating. Damn sure he has bitten of more than he can handle, Terk asks Charles for help. In turn, Charles brings in an old friend to get the team installed and to get the castle renovated and organized. Going into private business never looked so good or so hard. But, with Levi and Ice joining in the fun, even Bullard helping out, the renovations are in Emmaline’s capable hands, and all is well.
